JOHN BRANWELL / FATHER BROWN

JOHN BRANWELL appears as Albert Garrity in FATHER BROWN today at 1.45pm on BBC1.

Here Mrs McCarthy (Sorcha Cusack) regrets accepting a lift from Lady Felicia (Nancy Carroll) after her new sports car veers off the road into a tree. The women end up in adjoining beds at the local cottage hospital, much to Lady Felicia’s discomfort.

Meanwhile, at the presbytery, Father Brown (Mark Williams) and Sid’s (Alex Price) newfound freedom is cut short by the arrival of the formidable Mrs Steele (Gillian Bevan) as locum parish secretary and the suspicious news that a routine operation at the hospital has inexplicably gone wrong.
